Orphan Willie Woods – Help Please.

[dollylee]

"Found a possible trio crossing in 1906 which could fit the Bridgend family:
27 September 1906
Liverpool to Quebec - Ship: Kensington, Dominion Line
Kate Wood, 30, wife
William Wood, 6
John Wood, 2

Unfortunately, I can't find Charles - maybe he went before - and Kate's age is a little less.         Gadget "

I don't think so Gadget if the death date of June 28, 1906 is correct. 

Great job Gadget !!!  We should have gone with that Kate Trott/Charles Wood marriage when we first found it....but it seems it's all coming together now....except we still don't have Charles Wood on his ship over 

Gotta go......don't have a card for my Valentine and he's talking me out to dinner

Dolly - think your early mornings and my mid-mornings got a few thing together 

She was 39 on the 1901, Karen.

However, that was before she and William and James left on the one that i found 

Gadget

i'm not convinced , either  - think that more inveastigation is called for


Happy V day. Have a good evening out. I'm suffering - dentist

Sorry to hear that Gadget....you do spend a lot of time with that Dentist...lol

It's so damn cold here my car won't start and I have had to call my daughter to come and pick me up.  Second time this winter....perhaps it's not the cold but the car.

All of this is off topic so I might as well say  HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY to all as well.

I've had another look on the passenger lists, Dolly - K/Kate etc and Ann, etc. and the only one is the one I found and you found further info on. I'm doubting the burial record as our Kate.


And, if they were bound for Picton/Kingston, how come she was in Toronto

  Happy Valentines...you wonderful people you! Gadget I agree it is so great that this important information has come to light. It has opened up new generations and  introducing some new ancestors for Roger.
karen, that does look like an AnnK all written together, that's for sure...I can also see how a "d" with such a flourish could pass for a"ds"

so frustrating as can't always get on.... computer problems big time...anyway, earlier I couldn't see the next part of the submissionon LDS Fam search but some parents are listed for that Ann...

but Roger this is a SUBMISSION so not reliable, we do use the information as possible stepping stones, though as names sometimes are reliable, but dates aren't. In this case no names were left on site. There is an exact date listed,  which might make it plausible...but don't see information on submitter to check with about documents...
Ann Addicott born about 1849
Parents listed as Edward Addicott & Anne Ingram
Married Henry Trott ( no parents listed)  Feb. 10 1872, Parish Church, North Petherton

However there are other submissions for even an earlier birth of an Ann / other siblings listed....Amelia, Louisa, Job, William, Richard, Joseph

As it is we figured was getting on to a ripe age when she had the boys,  There is a birth 1848...but age 54/55 is a stretch.  Not impossible, though and if Charles was many several her junior, he'd never know her true age...so now I am curious, are these on a census together, or is that bits of them farmed out on the 1861...
My head hurts
( but then, what else is new?)

I thought I'd better not update more information until more positive results...
HUGS TO ALL!!!  J.J.


Just looked back at Gadget's 1861 and it seems to look like the family that matches above...not that it absolutely proves a match to our Ann.

Happy Valentines everyone!!

Sorry to be a downer, but, I'm not sure about this death for Ann.  I did see this one before but I had ruled it out for a few reasons.  I thought it said Ann K as well, but it is a cross mark after the name.  Each entry on the page has it.  The biggest thing was the date though.  This was before the family came from Wales.  The last thing was that I found an Ann Wood same age, from England, on the 1901 census in Toronto with husband Frederick.

Hi Lesley,

the death in 1906 and the passage over later that year does throw a spoke in the wheel.

[JoMC]

Hi all

I think Dolly and I came to the same conclusion last night - see posts before J.J.s summary. It seemed strange that she could be dead 3 months before the boat set off from Liverpool. I also noticed that there were a lot of Wood/Woods.

I'm sure they would have been somewhere nearer the orphanage.

Following on from the 1861:

1851

HO107/1924 Folio 259 Page 7
North moor Green ?Drove, North Petherton

Ann Addicott, 40, widow, labourer
Job, 12, labourer
William, 9
Richard, 7
Joseph, 5
Ann, 2

all born North Petherton

I'll check the 1841. Husband should be around then.
